I noticed that there are quite a few managers who were top flight players from when I was growing up. We have:
Tony Adams: Portsmouth
Gianfranco Zola: West Ham
Steve Bruce: Wigan
Roy Keane: Sunderland
Mark Hughes: Man City
Paul Ince: Blackburn
Gareth Southgate: Middlesbrough
So, my question is, which of todays’ current top flight players do you see managing in the Premiership in 5-10 years time? And for a little bit of fun, who can you see them managing?
Tough to say. It takes more than good mind for the game. It takes a special kind of dedication. Part of the problem is that the current generation of stars is a bit of a different breed from the last generation, because they are more overtly celebrities. I just see some of the current stars as being more dedicated to that.
John Terry or Steven Gerrard, I could definitely see. Ballack. Few others jump out at me.
Carra will definitley end up a top-flight manager, other than that, maybe Gareth Barry, Paul Scholes, Carrick, maybe Shay Given. If Torres sticks with football after playing I think he'd make a great coach a' la Dalglish.
Well, I think Gerrard would definitely make a great coach, the guy is pure class. In Italy, without a doubt, Del Piero will become a coach . He is one of the greatest leaders in soccer and arguably the most respected player in the world today. Also I could see Figo, Javier Zanetti, Maldini...In Spain definitely Raul. He is respected by all and has a great soccer mind.

Do you have a reason not to give The Half Boy your vote for the Hall of Fame?
I can see Ryan Giggs being a top flight manager. Although he doesn’t jump out at you as a managerial type of person, I think he’d probably be very good. I could see Ferguson grooming him to become United manager one day. Let’s face it, Mark Hughes is very unlikely to take the reigns on the red side of Manchester, after being with the blue half.
Gerrard and Carragher will defiantly be involved at Liverpool in some capacity. I just can’t see either of them being managers. I can totally see them being coaches or assistaint managers – but that’s as far as it goes.
Frank Lampard is another one I can see as a manager. It’s in his blood. With his father and uncle Harry to call upon, he has the grounding to peruse a career in management.
Other players I can see taking up the reigns of a club:
Phil Neville – Championship/Mid table Premiership side
Michael Ballack – More likely to be involved with German Football
William Gallas – God knows who though
Danny Murphy – Championship/Mid table Premiership side
Craig Bellamy - Same as above
Totally agree with T2S… Del Piero would make an awesome coach.
Imagine what Gallas would say as soon as his team lost. Blame the sun being too hot, the grass being too long, the pitch being too dry, the vending machine being out of peanuts, the grass being too short, the ball being too round....

The problem in the modern era is that the current top players dont have as much motivation to go into management, these current players hvae earned so much money during their playing careers that they are now multi millionaires and dont have to work another day in their lifes after they retire.
